Quadratic optimal synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems

This paper investigates the quadratic optimal synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems with parameter mismatch, parametric perturbations and external disturbances on both master and slave systems. A robust control scheme based on Lyapunov stability theory and quadratic optimal control approach is derived to realize chaotic synchronization. The sufficient criterion for stability condition is formulated in a linear matrix inequality (LMI) form. The effect of uncertain parameters and external disturbance is suppressed to an H_∞ norm constraint. An adaptive algorithm is proposed to adjust the uncertain bound in the robust controller avoiding the chattering phenomena. The simulation results for synchronization of the Chua’s circuit system and the Lorenz system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Estimating parameters of chaotic systems under noise-induced synchronization

Kim et al. introduced in 2002 [Kim CM, Rim S, Kye WH. Sequential synchronization of chaotic systems with an application to communication. Phys Rev Lett 2002;88:014103] a hierarchically structured communication scheme based on sequential synchronization, a modification of noise-induced synchronization (NIS). We propose in this paper an approach that can estimate the parameters of chaotic systems under NIS. In this approach, a dimensionally-expanded parameter estimating system is first constructed according to the original chaotic system. By feeding chaotic transmitted signal and external driving signal, the parameter estimating system can be synchronized with the original chaotic system. Consequently, parameters would be estimated. Numerical simulation shows that this approach can estimate all the parameters of chaotic systems under two feeding modes, which implies the potential weakness of the chaotic communication scheme under NIS or sequential synchronization.     

Fast synchronization of non-identical chaotic modulation-based secure systems using a modified sliding mode controller

In this paper, a secure communication scheme based on chaotic modulation is proposed using a reversible process and a robust controller with efficient cost and complexity to synchronize two different chaotic systems. In the controller design, a sliding mode control with an adaptive rule is used for non-linear inputs. The adaptive rule is applied to ensure the synchronization when uncertainties, non-modeled dynamics or external distortions are at work. The message signal is recovered at the receiver using a recursive process at the end. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is confirmed via the simulation results for the synchronization of the transmitted signal modulated by Chen chaotic system at the transmitter and Genesio chaotic system at the receiver, and those for the information recovery process.     

Observer-based synchronization of uncertain chaotic system and its application to secure communications

Within the drive-response configuration, this paper considers the synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems based on observers and chaos-based secure communication. Even if there are unknown disturbances and parameters in the drive system, a robust adaptive observer can be used as response system to realize chaotic synchronization. The proposed method is then applied to secure communication. The transmitter is constructed by injecting the information into the drive system with proper manner and one of the transmitting signal is the sum of one of the output and the information signal. The Lur’e chaotic system is considered as an illustrative example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Hyperchaotic secure communication via generalized function projective synchronization

This paper presents two different hyperchaotic secure communication schemes by using generalized function projective synchronization (GFPS), where the drive and response systems could be synchronized up to a desired scaling function matrix. The unpredictability of the scaling functions can additionally enhance the security of communication. First, a hyperchaotic secure communication scheme applying GFPS of the uncertain Chen hyperchaotic system is proposed. The transmitted information signal is modulated into the parameter of the Chen hyperchaotic system in the transmitter and it is assumed that the parameter of the receiver system is unknown. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the adaptive control technique, the controllers are designed to make two identical Chen hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameter asymptotically synchronized; thus, the uncertain parameter of the receiver system is identified. The information signal can be recovered accurately by the estimated parameter. Secondly, another secure communication scheme by the coupled GFPS of the Chen hyperchaotic system is introduced. The information signal transmitted can be extracted exactly through simple operation in the receiver. The corresponding theoretical proofs and numerical simulations demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed hyperchaotic secure communication schemes.

Function vector synchronization based on fuzzy control for uncertain chaotic systems with dead‐zone nonlinearities

In this article, a fuzzy adaptive control scheme is designed to achieve a function vector synchronization behavior between two identical or different chaotic (or hyperchaotic) systems in the presence of unknown dynamic disturbances and input nonlinearities (dead‐zone and sector nonlinearities). This proposed synchronization scheme can be considered as a generalization of many existing projective synchronization schemes (namely the function projective synchronization, the modified projective synchronization, generalized projective synchronization, and so forth) in the sense that the master and slave outputs are assumed to be some general function vectors. To practically deal with the input nonlinearities, the adaptive fuzzy control system is designed in a variable‐structure framework. The fuzzy systems are used to appropriately approximate the uncertain nonlinear functions. A Lyapunov approach is used to prove the boundedness of all signals of the closed‐loop control system as well as the exponential convergence of the corresponding synchronization errors to an adjustable region. The synchronization between two identical systems (chaotic satellite systems) and two different systems (chaotic Chen and Lü systems) are taken as two illustrative examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adaptive fuzzy observer based synchronization design and secure communications of chaotic systems

This paper proposes a synchronization design scheme based on an alternative indirect adaptive fuzzy observer and its application to secure communication of chaotic systems. It is assumed that their states are unmeasurable and their parameters are unknown. Chaotic systems and the structure of the fuzzy observer are represented by the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model. Using Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive law is derived to estimate the unknown parameters and the stability of the proposed system is guaranteed. Through this process, the asymptotic synchronization of chaotic systems is achieved. The proposed observer is applied to secure communications of chaotic systems and some numerical simulation results show the validity of theoretical derivations and the performance of the proposed observer.     

Chaos suppression of a class of unknown uncertain chaotic systems via single input

This paper deals with the design of a robust adaptive control scheme for chaos suppression of a class of chaotic systems. We assume that model uncertainties and external disturbances disturb the system’s dynamics. The bounds of both model uncertainties and external disturbances are assumed to be unknown in advance. Moreover, it is assumed that the nonlinear terms of the chaotic system dynamics are unknown bounded. Based on the global boundedness feature of the chaotic systems’ trajectories, a simple one input adaptive sliding mode control approach is proposed to suppress the chaos of the uncertain chaotic system. Furthermore, using a dynamical sliding manifold the discontinuous sign function in the control input is diverted to the first derivative of the control input to eliminate the chattering. Finally, the robustness of the proposed approach is mathematically proved and numerically illustrated.     

A practical projective synchronization approach for uncertain chaotic systems with dead-zone input

In this paper, a practical projective synchronization problem of master–slave chaotic systems is investigated. More specifically, a fuzzy adaptive slave chaotic system subject to dead-zone nonlinearity in the input channel is proposed using only the measurable output of the master system thanks to a suitable observer. A practical projective synchronization between the master and slave systems is achieved by an adequate fuzzy adaptive control system. The underlying parameter adaptation design as well as stability analysis are carried out using a Lyapunov based approach. Unlike the previous works, in the design of the proposed synchronization scheme, we do not require to know the uncertainties function and that the dynamics of the original synchronization error are strictly positive real (SPR). In fact, herein, the uncertainties function is estimated by a fuzzy adaptive system and the dynamics of the original synchronization error are augmented by a low pass filter designed to satisfy the SPR condition. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed practical projective synchronization scheme.     

Robust synchronization of drive–response chaotic systems via adaptive sliding mode control

A robust adaptive sliding control scheme is developed in this study to achieve synchronization for two identical chaotic systems in the presence of uncertain system parameters, external disturbances and nonlinear control inputs. An adaptation algorithm is given based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Using this adaptation technique to estimate the upper-bounds of parameter variation and external disturbance uncertainties, an adaptive sliding mode controller is then constructed without requiring the bounds of parameter and disturbance uncertainties to be known in advance. It is proven that the proposed adaptive sliding mode controller can maintain the existence of sliding mode in finite time in uncertain chaotic systems. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Spread spectrum communication and its circuit implementation using fractional-order chaotic system via a single driving variable

A one-driving-variable adaptive controller for synchronization of a kind of fractional order chaotic system is designed. Based on the theory of spread spectrum communication and the synchronization of one-driving-variable fractional order chaotic system, we propose a new scheme for general spread spectrum communication. Numerical simulation and circuit experiment results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

A chaotic secure communication scheme using fractional chaotic systems based on an extended fractional Kalman filter

In recent years chaotic secure communication and chaos synchronization have received ever increasing attention. In this paper, for the first time, a fractional chaotic communication method using an extended fractional Kalman filter is presented. The chaotic synchronization is implemented by the EFKF design in the presence of channel additive noise and processing noise. Encoding chaotic communication achieves a satisfactory, typical secure communication scheme. In the proposed system, security is enhanced based on spreading the signal in frequency and encrypting it in time domain. In this paper, the main advantages of using fractional order systems, increasing nonlinearity and spreading the power spectrum are highlighted. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a numerical example based on the fractional Lorenz dynamical system is presented and the results are compared to the integer Lorenz system.     

Reduced-order synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems via adaptive control

We consider the coupling of two uncertain dynamical systems with different orders using an adaptive feedback linearization controller to achieve reduced-order synchronization between the two systems. Reduced-order synchronization is the problem of synchronization of a slave system with projection of a master system. The synchronization scheme is an exponential linearizing-like controller and a state/uncertainty estimator. As an illustrative example, we show that the dynamical evolution of a second-order driven oscillator can be synchronized with the canonical projection of a fourth-order chaotic system. Simulation results indicated that the proposed control scheme can significantly improve the synchronousness performance. These promising results justify the usefulness of the proposed output feedback controller in the application of secure communication.     

Adaptive synchronization of single-degree-of-freedom oscillators with unknown parameters

In this paper, an adaptive control scheme is proposed for the synchronization of two single-degree-of-freedom oscillators with unknown parameters. We only assume that the master system has the bounded solutions, which is generally satisfied for chaotic systems. Unlike the existing literature, the boundedness of the states of the slave system with control input is not necessarily known in advance. The boundedness of the controlled states is rigorously proved. The unknown parameters not only in the slave system but also in the master system are estimated by designing adaptive laws. By choosing appropriate Lyapunov function and employing Barbalat’s lemma, it is theoretically shown that the synchronization errors can converge to zero asymptotically. Finally, two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control design.

Adaptive synchronization to a general non-autonomous chaotic system and its applications

In this paper, new adaptive synchronous criteria for a general class of n-dimensional non-autonomous chaotic systems with linear and nonlinear feedback controllers are derived. By suitable separation between linear and nonlinear terms of the chaotic system, the phenomenon of stable chaotic synchronization can be achieved using an appropriate adaptive controller of feedback signals. This method can also be generalized to a form for chaotic synchronization or hyper-chaotic synchronization. Based on stability theory on non-autonomous chaotic systems, some simple yet less conservative criteria for global asymptotic synchronization of the autonomous and non-autonomous chaotic systems are derived analytically. Furthermore, the results are applied to some typical chaotic systems such as the Duffing oscillators and the unified chaotic systems, and the numerical simulations are given to verify and also visualize the theoretical results.     

Unknown nonlinear chaotic gyros synchronization using adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control with unknown dead-zone input

In this paper, the problem of synchronizing two chaotic gyros in the presence of uncertainties, external disturbances and dead-zone nonlinearity in the control input is studied while the structure of the gyros, parameters of the dead-zone and the bounds of uncertainties and external disturbances are unknown. The dead-zone nonlinearity in the control input might cause the perturbed chaotic system to show unpredictable behavior. This is due to the high sensitivity of these systems to small changes in their parameters. Thereby, the effect of these issues should not be ignored in the control design for these systems. In order to eliminate the effects from the dead-zone nonlinearity, in this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed to overcome the synchronization problem for a class of unknown nonlinear chaotic gyros. The main contribution of our paper in comparison with other works that attempt to solve the problem of dead-zone in the synchronization of chaotic gyros is that we assume that the structure of the system, uncertainties, external disturbances, and dead-zone are fully unknown. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

The control of chaotic systems with unknown parameters and external disturbance via backstepping‐like scheme

This article addresses the adaptive control of chaotic systems with unknown parameters, model uncertainties, and external disturbance. We first investigate the control of a class of chaotic systems and then discuss the control of general chaotic systems. Based on the backstepping‐like procedure, some novel criteria are proposed via adaptive control scheme. As an example to illustrate the application of the proposed method, the control and synchronization of the modified Chua's chaotic system is also investigated via a single input. Some numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 573–583, 2016
